In a new example of the coercion that defines the Cuban regime, the Government and the Communist Party organized a day of voluntary work for the 98th anniversary of Fidel Castro's birth.
Yaisa Borrero shared this Sunday in the Facebook group "La Gente del Salao" a gallery of photos where very few people are seen participating.
The person who made the post claimed that leaders of the Party and the Government were involved in the work carried out in the Haydee Santamaría People's Council, where they were forced to participate in an activity that, far from being voluntary, was imposed.
The images show the leaders weeding the propaganda fences of the Revolution and the attackers at the Moncada Barracks, located on the Siboney road. This type of task, more symbolic than productive, underscores the forced nature of an activity that is presented as "voluntary."
In the comments section, several users agreed that the regime, instead of calling for activities that truly address the needs of the population, frequently organizes tasks that they consider useless and disconnected from the real problems of the people.
However, activities of this nature have not only been organized in Santiago de Cuba.
The internet user Suren Marzan shared on Facebook a gallery of photos that documents another volunteer work dedicated to Fidel Castro, in commemoration of the 98th anniversary of his birth.
The images reveal the presence of children cleaning the streets of a CDR in Santiago de Cuba, which serves as another example of the indoctrination they are subjected to from an early age in the country.
In the province of Pinar del Río, at the El Pitirre Seed Farm, the mandated celebration was also present: "We're going to plant sweet potato vines," read the announcement.
In Havana, the young communists of the army carried out "voluntary" work at the Central House of the FAR, where they poured sand on the beach under the pretext of "increasing the satisfaction of vacationers" and "improving the morphological conditions" of the place.
This activity, presented as a tribute, highlights the continued instrumentalization of youth in tasks that, in reality, have little practical relevance.
The Cuban regime, whose voluntary blood donation program has been weakened in recent years due to increasing migration, has called for several events to commemorate the 98th anniversary of Fidel Castro's birth.
The Citizen Portal of Havana reported on its website that the CDRs have called for massive blood donations on Monday, August 12, and Tuesday, August 13, in a gesture aimed at commemorating the birth of Fidel Castro, once again highlighting the political instrumentalization of these campaigns.
